GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann learned that protesters often come in adorable packages. A video captures the Minnesota congresswoman greeting 8-year-old Elijah and his mom at a signing event for Bachmann's book, "Core of Conviction: My Story," in South Carolina.

The candidate, who is an outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage, met her match with the soft-spoken, pint-sized activist. The video shows Bachmann leaning in to listen closely as the youngster whispers, "My mommy's gay, but she doesn't need fixing."

Bachmann bolts back up and manages a "bye bye" as mother and son walk away.

This isn't the first time that Bachmann has faced challenges to her stand on gay rights from the younger set. Last week, Bachmann was questioned by a teen about her opposition to gay marriage.

You can watch the video of Bachmann and 8-year-old Elijah in the video above.

This is the person you want to sit down and solve conflicts and have resolutions for the Middle East and Iran crisis and she can't handle an 8 year old.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

PLEASE!!! If Bachmann had said anything to this kid, this same Yahoo report would have turned right around and accused her of intimidating a little boy. This isn't the first time lefties have tried this crap. Remember the mom that didn't have the guts to ask Rick Perry about "science", face-to-face; so, she kept feeding her boy lines to say to the Texas governor.

333386 nailed it. I'd take Bachmann over Obama any day of the week. Give me a fighter, not a crybaby who blames ATMs, the Internet, and unrelated issues across the globes for HIS repeated screwups.

Agree. She did the right thing. Shame on the mother for forcing her little kid to get involved with something like this.
